So I seem to have fallen in love with the samurai-aesthetic look for robots and mecha and am trying to make a wishlist of other items that would fit in. As long as I have a nice representative of a particular mold or character, then I don't really have a need for a bunch of repaints/redecos of it (which I've found some of the Transformers listed below are notorious for). Here are some of the ones that I've come across, and I would appreciate it if anyone could point me towards others that I might like. If you click on the links, you should get a good idea of what I'm looking for. If the robots are combiners or transform, then that's all the better! - Transformers
- Gundam
- Super Sentai / Power Rangers
- LEGO
Thanks! |

Are you looking to buy these?
I got the thunder megazord when it was new and it is one of my favorite ranger series bots. (Not selling this one).
I do however have sealed bludgeon (the best color deco for this mode and most samurai looking in my opinion) and the red shattered glass drift (unused in box, the TF club items don't come "sealed") and I believe I even have the regular white drift sealed. Those three I can let go.
All the figures you have mentioned are very good examples though. My brother likes a lot of stuff like this, I will ask him if there are any similar types of figures that you don't have listed.

Try to look for Gilgazamune, from Bandai SOC Spec line. It is based on anime Metal Armor Dragonar. There are more suggestions if you're willing to explore super robot category.

@mr. Ginrai: Out of the ones I listed, I actually own or just recently purchased most of them  I am still missing the Alternity Megatron (I'm hoping to get the black version), the Swordbot team, and the Gundam. Thanks for the offer though, and please do ask your brother! @mr. Roboto: Thanks for the suggestion! I checked him out and he definitely has the kind of styling that I'm looking for. Unfortunately from what I could find, he was a Tamashii Web Exclusive and so is quite pricey and might be hard to find, but I will definitely add him to my wish list. Emphasis on "wish" |

I talked to my brother and he is giving me some samurai bots and toys to add to your list. I'll post them up here sometime this week.

Though funky and blocky, I always thought GodSigma had a very cool, mysterious Samurai helmet look. He has the swords for it for sure.

GodSigma is pretty cool. I think the thing that I like the most about the samurai look is the hip armor though |

on the real robot side.. Soul of Chogokin GX-46 Dygenguar & Ausenseiter They are considered super robots in the SRW games (choosing the male super robot route in Alpha 2 gives the Dygenguar later as a replacement for your Grungust Sanshiki) and anime as the Dynamic General Guardians were intended to replace the older super robots from the Grungust line. In contrast to Dygenguar's samurai look, Aussenseiter's design in robot mode is inspired by European knights. The third DGG is the ninja-themed Jinrai that would later be completely overhauled into the Raioh, who is very loosely based on Kamen Rider. Raioh would later be upgraded into Dairaioh. |

Found another one, but it's a model kit. Nobunaga the FoolOn an unrelated note, there was an old video game called Nobunaga's Ambition. When I was a kid and read about it in a magazine, I read it as "Nobunga's Ambition" (maybe there was a typo in the magazine). It wasn't until 20 years later when my girlfriend was in a Japanese history class that I found I had been pronouncing his name wrong all this time. |
